WORLDBEAT: CHELMSFORD NAMED UK BIRTHPLACE OF RADIO
The United Kingdom now has a city named as the birthplace of
radio. At least in that nation. Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, is
here with the details:
--
Chelmsford, acknowledged as the birthplace of radio and home
to the Marconi Company for many years, is one of three new
cities created to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the
establishment by Marconi of the first purpose built radio
factory in New Street, Chelmsford in 1912. New Street is
marked with a blue plaque noting the historic significance.
And this comes to you from G4NJH in Nottingham.
--
As an asaide, for those who never heard the term the Queen's
Diamond Jubilee, this will be an extended weekend from June
2nd to the 5th to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen
Elizabeth the 2nd. The Queen came to the throne on
February 6, 1952 and her coronation took place on June 2nd
1953. (RSGB)
